Under the LIC Child Fortune Plus plan, the policyholder can insure himself or herself in order to provide for the future needs of the child. While no insurance cover will be taken out on the child's life, the policy type can be acquired by the parent depending on the child's age, which will run until the child attains 25 years of age or until the policyholder attains 75 years of age. Premium can be paid upfront in a single lump sum or in installments at regular intervals over the term of the policy. Premiums paid will be utilised to buy units in an investment fund of the policyholder's choice.
